Recommendations for Beat users

Do not forget that from 00:00 hours on Wednesday, November 9, it is no longer possible to request any service in the app.

However, users will still be able to continue logging into their account and be able to make any questions they deem convenient through the help menu until December 7 this year.

Similarly, it is recommended that if a user has their credit or debit card linked to the application you must remove it first before deleting the app from his smartphone. This should be done as a preventive measure to avoid problems in the future, since it is not good for confidential information to remain on the servers of a company that is no longer going to operate in the aforementioned countries.

On the other hand, if you still have any outstanding credit with Beat, the value will be returned to the linked account.
